Here's a link to my previous thread on the matter: Who Should The Most Avoided Fighter in Boxing (Demetrius Andrade) Fight Next??
I feel bad for the guy. It's a curse to be so talented in his case. On one hand at least he's staying active building his profile etc. But damn this ain't what the fans want. Don't blame Andrade for this tho. Blame your favorite fighters for not stepping up to the plate. Blame these garbage aśs reporters for almost never mentioning his name to the other top fighters...
What needs to be explained tho (& I doubt it will) is how is this a mandatory? Sulecki was supposedly supposed to be a mandatory before.. (& it kind of made sense because) allegedly GGG turned down the chance to fight Andrade & next in the rankings was Sulecki! The timing of the fight was also around the time that a mandatory normally comes around. .. But then this fight get ordered as a mandatory, so it doesn't make sense. As a lot of shìt in boxing..
